Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We are pleased to provide you with the PREDEX (the “Fund”) annual report. The Fund is invested in 18 private and non-listed institutional real estate funds representing more than 1,900 properties in $138 billion of real estate. We remain committed to utilizing a low-cost, passive investment strategy to invest in the flagship U.S. core property funds managed by the leading institutional real estate sponsors.

Performance has been very consistent, and the Fund has continued to generate a positive return every month. Class I shares returned +6.18% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. The maximum drawdown at any time since inception was only 0.19%.

In March 2018 the Fund launched two additional share classes: Class W and Class T. This should allow the Fund to attract more investor capital from previously untapped sources. We will strive to diversify and strengthen our capital base with other investors committed to incorporating private core real estate as a long-term component of their investment portfolios.

PREDEX seeks to continue to provide low volatility and relatively low correlation to the other major asset classes. The Fund is well diversified by fund manager, property type and geography.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)

The Fund’s performance compared to its benchmarks for the periods ended April 30, 2018:

			Since
		Since	Inception
		Inception	Class T and
	One Year	Class I (1)	Class W (2)
PREDEX:
Class I	+ 6.18%	+ 4.04%	—
Class W	—	—	+ 1.63%
Class T – without load	—	—	+ 1.63%
Class T – with load (3)	—	—	- 2.69%
Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index	- 0.32%	- 0.71%	- 0.11%
S&P 500 Total Return Index	+13.27%	+15.81%	- 2.17%

⁽¹⁾     Annualized total return since July 1, 2016 when the class commenced operations. 

⁽²⁾     Annualized total return since March 1, 2018 when the class commenced operations.

⁽³⁾     Adjusted for initial maximum sales charge of 4.25%.

The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities). The S&P 500 Total Return Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index which is comprised of 500 of the largest U.S. domiciled companies and includes the reinvestment of all dividends. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may have to pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. For performance information current to the most recent month end, please call 877-940-7202.

The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and absorb expenses of the Fund at least until August 31, 2019 so that the annual operating expenses (including offering expenses, but excluding taxes interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) will not exceed 1.20%, 1.45% and 1.45% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class T and Class W, respectively. Without the waiver the expenses would be 1.48% for Class I and 1.88% for Class T and Class W annualized (gross expenses as per the Fund’s prospectus dated February 12, 2018). Please review the accompanying Financial Highlights and the Fund’s Prospectus for more details regarding the Fund’s fees and expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2018

(1) ORGANIZATION

PREDEX (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund is non-diversified, engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value. The Fund’s investment advisor is PREDEX Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”).

The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek consistent current income while secondarily seeking long-term capital appreciation with moderate volatility.

The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on February 5, 2013 (date of organization), under the laws of the State of Delaware. There were no organizational costs during the period prior to commencement of trading.

The Fund currently offers Class I, Class T and Class W shares. The Fund commenced operations July 1, 2016 with a single class of shares which was renamed Class I on March 1, 2018. Class T and Class W shares commenced operations on March 1, 2018. Class T shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25%. Class I and Class W shares are offered at net asset value. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation – Investments in public non-traded funds are valued at their reported net asset value. The Fund otherwise uses fair valuation procedures to value a substantial portion of its assets. The Fund uses the fair value of a security to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

Valuation of Private Investment Funds – The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Private Investment Funds (each a “Private Fund” and collectively, the “Private Funds”). The Private Funds measure their real estate investments at fair value, and report a NAV per share on a calendar quarter basis. The Fund estimates the fair value of each Private Fund by adjusting the most recent NAV for each Private Fund by

12

PREDEX

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

April 30, 2018

the change in a proprietary benchmark that the Fund has deemed to be representative of the entire Private Fund market.

Fair Value Process – The “fair value” of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.

The values assigned to fair valued investments will be based on available information and will not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the current year presented. It is the Fund’s policy to record transfers into or out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.

As of April 30, 2018, there was no significant change in fair value from the most recent NAV for each Private Fund. The following is a reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:

	Private
	Investment
	Funds

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, if so qualified, will not be liable for federal income taxes to the extent earnings are distributed to shareholders on a timely basis. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

As of April 30, 2018, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions for open tax year ended April 30, 2017 or expected to be taken in the Fund’s April 30, 2018 year-end tax return. The Fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after filing.

Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Report of independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PREDEX

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, includinq the portfolio of investments, of PREDEX (the Fund) as of April 30, 2018, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2018, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and underlying fund managers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor to PREDEX since 2013

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Companies. Not applicable

Item 6. Schedule of Investments. Schedule of investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers is included under Item 1.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Funds.

11.0 Proxy Voting Procedures

Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 addresses an investment adviser's fiduciary obligation to its clients when the adviser has authority to vote their proxies. In accordance with SEC Release No. IA-2106, the rule requires an investment adviser that exercises voting authority over client proxies to adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of clients, to disclose to clients information about those policies and procedures, and to disclose to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser has voted their proxies. The rule must also describe how the adviser addresses and resolves material conflicts between its interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting. The rule amendments also require advisers to maintain certain records relating to proxy voting. The rule and rule amendments are designed to ensure that advisers vote proxies in the best interest of their clients and provide clients with information about how their proxies are voted.

11.1 Voting Client Proxies

Under the Advisers Act, an adviser is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients “duties of care and loyalty” with respect to all services undertaken on the client's behalf, including proxy voting. The duty of care requires an adviser with proxy voting authority to monitor corporate events and to vote the proxies. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, the adviser must cast the proxy votes in a manner consistent with the best interest of its client and must not subrogate client interests to its own.

Therefore, advisers that have implicit as well as explicit voting authority must comply with Rule 206(4)-6. The rule thus applies when the advisory contract is silent but the adviser's voting authority is implied by an overall delegation of discretionary authority. The rule does not apply, however, to advisers that provide clients with advice about voting proxies but do not have authority to vote the proxies.

The duty of care requires an adviser with voting authority to monitor corporate actions and vote client proxies. Therefore, the adviser should have procedures in place designed to ensure that it fulfills these duties. However, the SEC does not suggest that an adviser that fails to vote every proxy would necessarily violate its fiduciary obligations. For example, there may even be times when refraining from voting a proxy is in the client's best interest, such as when the adviser determines that the cost of voting the proxy exceeds the expected benefit to the client. However, an adviser may not ignore or be negligent in fulfilling its assumed obligations toward voting client proxies. ►►

Implementation Strategy

The Board has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures on behalf of the Trust, which delegate the responsibility for voting proxies to the Firm, subject to the Board's continuing oversight. The Policies require that the Firm vote proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of PREDEX and shareholders.

11.2 Potential Conflicts of Interest

An investment adviser may have a number of conflicts that can affect how it votes proxies. For example, an adviser may manage a pension plan, administer employee benefit plans, or provide brokerage, underwriting, insurance, or banking services to a company whose management is soliciting proxies.

Failure to vote in favor of management may harm the adviser's relationship with the company. The adviser may also have business or personal relationships with participants in proxy contests, corporate directors or candidates for directorships.

Therefore, in order to prevent material conflicts of interest from affecting the manner in which investment advisers may vote clients' proxies, SEC rule 206(4)-6 requires advisers to adopt and implement policies and procedures for voting proxies in the best interest of clients, to describe the procedures to clients, and to tell clients how they may obtain information about how the adviser has actually voted their proxies.

Under Rule 206(4)-6, it is a fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative act, practice or course of business within the meaning of section 206(4) of the Act for an investment adviser to exercise voting authority with respect to client securities unless (i) the adviser has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interest of its clients; (ii) the adviser describes its proxy voting procedures to its clients and provides copies on request; and (iii) the adviser discloses to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser voted their proxies. ►►

Implementation Strategy

The Board has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures on behalf of the Trust, which delegate the responsibility for voting proxies to the Firm, subject to the Board's continuing oversight. The Policies require that the Firm vote proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of PREDEX and shareholders. The Policies also require the Firm to present to the Board, at least annually, the Firm's Proxy Policies and a record of each proxy voted by the Firm on behalf of PREDEX, including a report on the resolution of all proxies identified by the Firm involving a conflict of interest.

11.3 Resolving Conflicts of Interest

According to the SEC’s position on resolving conflicts of interest, an adviser's policy of disclosing the conflict to clients and obtaining their consents before voting would satisfy the requirements of the rule and, when implemented, would fulfill the adviser's fiduciary obligations under the Advisers Act. However, in the absence of client disclosure and consent, an adviser that has a material conflict of interest with its clients must take other steps designed to ensure, and must be able to demonstrate that those steps resulted in, a decision to vote the proxies that was based on the clients' best interest and was not the product of the conflict.

Investment advisers may use various means of ensuring that proxy votes are voted in their clients' best interest and not affected by the advisers' conflicts of interest. Therefore, the following procedures detail how the Adviser may insulate its decision on how to vote client proxies from any perceived conflict. ►►

11.4 Description and Issuance of Proxy Voting Policy

In accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, advisers are required to disclose how clients can obtain information from the adviser on how their securities were voted. The Rule also requires advisers to describe their proxy voting policies and procedures to clients, and upon request, to provide clients with a copy of those policies and procedures. The description should be a concise summary of the adviser's proxy voting process rather than a reiteration of the adviser's policies and procedures, and should indicate that a copy of the policies and procedures is available upon request. If a client requests a copy of the policies and procedures, the adviser must supply it.

Note: Although the SEC requires public disclosure as a means of informing fund shareholders how the fund (or its adviser) voted proxies of the shareholders' fund, public disclosure is unnecessary for advisers to communicate to each client how the adviser has voted that client's proxies. Because public disclosure of proxy votes by some advisers would potentially reveal client holdings and thus client confidence, the SEC has determined that advisers are not required to disclose their votes publicly.

Advisers may choose any means to make this disclosure, provided that it is clear, not "buried" in a longer document, and received by clients within 180 days after publication. For example, an adviser could send clients the disclosure together with a periodic account statement, deliver it in a separate mailing, or include it in its brochure (or Part 2 of Form ADV). Advisers that use their brochure or Part 2 to make the disclosure must deliver (not merely offer) the revised brochure to existing clients within 180 days after publication, and should accompany the delivery with a letter identifying the new disclosure. ►►

Implementation Strategy

The Firm may issue a brief summary disclosing its proxy voting process. Additionally, the disclosure information should also indicate that a copy of the Firm's full policies and procedures on proxy voting may be provided upon request.

11.5 Record Keeping Requirements

Under Rule 204-2, as amended, advisers must retain (i) their proxy voting policies and procedures; (ii) proxy statements received regarding client securities; (iii) records of votes they cast on behalf of clients;

(iv) records of client requests for proxy voting information, and (v) any documents prepared by the adviser that were material to making a decision how to vote, or that memorialized the basis for the decision. The amendments permit an adviser to rely on proxy statements filed on EDGAR instead of keeping its own copies, and to rely on proxy statements and records of proxy votes cast by the adviser that are maintained with a third party such as a proxy voting service, provided that the adviser has obtained an undertaking from the third party to provide a copy of the documents promptly upon request. ►►

Implementation Strategy

In accordance with Rule 204-2, as amended, the Firm will ensure that it is maintaining the following records:
■ proxy voting policies and procedures;
■ proxy statements received regarding client securities (unless such statement are filed through the EDGAR system);
■ records of votes cast by Adviser on behalf of clients (unless maintained with a third party such as a proxy voting service, provided that the Firm has obtained an undertaking from the third party to provide a copy of the documents promptly upon request );
■ records of client requests for proxy voting information, and
■ any documents prepared by the Firm that were material to making a decision how to vote, or that memorialized the basis for the decision.
